B2. Investigate the chemical structures, functions, and chemical properties of biological molecules involved in some common cellular processes and biochemical reactions;
B3. Demonstrate an understanding of the structures and functions of biological molecules, and the biochemical reactions required to maintain normal cellular function.
OverAll
B1. Analyse technological applications of enzymes in some industrial processes, and evaluate technological advances in the field of cellular biology;
Week 1: From Bread to Sugar
B1.2 evaluate, on the basis of research, some advances in cellular biology and relatedtechnological applications
B3.2 Describe the structure of important biochemical compounds, including carbohydrates,proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, and explain their function within cells
Blood Typing
note a potential common misconception: students may get confused with the issue of whether your blood type refers to the antigens or the antibodies you carry – so type A could be thought of as a person that has anti-A antibodies versus anti-A antigens, also which are on the blood cell and which are in the plasma: the antigens or the antibodies? Antibodies are normally not static, rather moving, traveling, versus antigens that are generally static, attached.

STSE B1.1 analyse technological applications related to
enzyme activity in the food and pharmaceutical industries
An understanding of metabolic processes enables people to make informed choices with respect to a range of personal, societal, and environmental issues.
Week 4: Enzymes at Work
Wet Lab: Enzymes B2.5 plan and conduct an investigation related to a
cellular process (e.g., factors that affect enzyme activity; factors that affect transport of substances across cell membranes), using appropriate laboratory equipment and techniques, and report the results in an appropriate format
